A closer look at Watercolor
A watercolor painting builds form through transparent layers and the light of the paper. Pigment can pool or soften at an edge, while selected sharper details keep the focal subject readable.

Watercolor questions
How can I give my photo a watercolor look here?
Upload a photo with a clear subject and gentle lighting, then choose Watercolor if it is available for generation. After checking the cost and submitting, compare the important features with the original; soft painted edges may simplify fine detail.
Does creating a watercolor image here cost credits?
Yes. You need to sign in, and generation is charged in credits. Visit the pricing page for current details and check the credit cost shown before submitting your image.
Will the painted version keep every fine detail?
Soft washes tend to simplify small textures and edges away from the main subject. Check details that matter to you, such as eyes or the outline of a pet, instead of expecting every photographic texture to remain.
